May's topic will be conducted by Brother Katie Cumsille on a study of Freemasonry: Was it the best of times AND the worst of times? After a short lecture, a discussion and debate by the group will follow.
The great classics of European literature have been fully integrated into American culture. Charles Dickens's Tale of Two Cities is one of those pieces of art that have come to line the shelves of many American home libraries. Why is that this story has spoken to so many? Have we not experienced life at the highest peaks and the lowest valleys ourselves?

October's topic will be conducted by Brother Chris Osborn on a study of Freemasonry: What does it mean to Grok or Understand in Fullness? After a short lecture, a discussion and debate by the group will follow.
Robert Heinlein’s book Stranger in Strange Land was highly controversial for its time. In many ways, however it introduced a concept of "Grok" which can be defined in several ways including “to drink,” “to understand in fullness,” “to understand intuitively or by empathy, to establish rapport with,” and “to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment.” This term has been largely accepted in several communities to describe concepts that are difficult to explain in words. Yet, how can we apply this concept to our own lives and to Freemasonry in particular? Is this the same as Divine Knowledge?
